It's beside the point but I feel the urge to write it. Traumatizing people with ones suicide always has a bitter taste to me. (No offense meant Lady Butterfly. It's just my opinion atm.)
I get it. The message is: I feel horrible and despite that I keep going. Still...
Don't worry, suicidal people know. In fact, chances are they're extremely aware of it. Maybe they even despite themselves even more due to it
It's just that they suffer so much, that suicide still seems desirable
The best description ive seen is that its like being in a burning building standing at a window. Jumping out would be committing suicide. For some people the pain from the burning building grows so much they cant take it anymore and jump.
